My day in the life of capitalism

Crazy Ivan said:
I work at a major public university. I hear college students saying things like this all the time. Talking about how oppressed they are, how awful capitalism is, all while checking out their iPhones, listening to music on their air pods, walking around in expensive clothes, enjoying a Starbucks coffee, and driving home on the weekends in their Audis and Mini Coopers and Priuses.

Yeah, capitalism sucks.

You're buying a boat propeller and complaining about capitalism while 3/4 of the people in the world are starving? You're become as ridiculous as vibise

Starving. Per Capita annual income Korea Norte is $1,288. Socialism.

I install a fresh sacrificial anode on my prop shaft and polish my bronze folding prop on my sailboat before using a crane to launch our boat in March.

The replacement prop will run about 700 dollars. The prop folded has little drag. It will have corrosion/pitting without the cheap 10 dollar anode protection. On Google Maps, I can't see any yacht clubs in Korea Norte.

Factories sign up exclusive contracts all the time and can decide to NOT sell retail.

Not even wholesale companies can by direct.

You can't buy a car factory direct. They set up dealers to sell and service.

Yup. Middle men which significantly increase price of the vehicles.

Yes! As if they didnt own pleasure crafts in socialism or communism. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:.

I bought brand new. So far the alignment is screwed, went through 6 set of tires in 2 years. The bulbs on trailer lights keep burning out, they said it was submergible and its not.( Had to change them).

The fish finder didnt work and they said they had to charge me $300 just to test drive it. I said test drive what? ,It doesn't work, so I had to send a video of the defective fish finder.

The motor doesn't properly tilt. Brought it in 1 month, they returned it? Same problem. after they said they fixed it.

Its been 2 years and they keep saying customer service will return my calls. Nada.

They will chase you down, but once they get your money they disappear. and concentrate on nagging the next guy for a sale.

So ya capitalism sucks, since in socialism, they would have better customer service because its not profit driven.

I'll stay in the good Ol' USA...

You don't own anything in communism, my clueless dude.

So again you were able to attain the wealth to own a private pleasure craft, and now you're batching about capitalism. How ungrateful.
